Friends, connoisseurs, so I finished work on a new easel painting, which I started, if anyone followed my notes, back in early January! In parallel, other works were carried out, the open-air season, sketches began ... And work on this picture was suspended until late autumn. I like to read quotes from great artists, something is more memorable, something is not very good, but the next one very accurately conveys my experience: “You have to be able to suffer a picture ... But what about a picture? Sometimes a cloud that you cannot grab right away causes so much torment that you lose your head. And you work, you achieve for weeks, months ... "A. Kuindzhi. Or Levitan is very consonant here:" You dont need to decorate nature, but you need to feel its essence and free it from accidents. " ", Went through it compositionally, mirrored, adding, removing, suffering through suffering, working with the idea that this picture will be the best!
